Serve with corn tortillas, guacamole (mashed avocado, lime juice & salt) and
pico de gallo. Oh yes, don't forget the cervesa...

Pico de Gallo

4 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 fresh chile peppers, mild or hot, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped red or yellow bell pepper (not really mexican but OK)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon lime juice
salt and pepper, to taste
Combine ingredients in a glass or other non-reactive bowl and refrigerate
for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Makes about 2 cups.
